What is the primary difference between Ansible's 'network_cli' and 'netconf' connection types for network devices?
-
A
network_cli connects via SSH and executes CLI commands; netconf connects via SSH port 830 using XML-based NETCONF protocol for structured data exchange
-
B
network_cli is for Cisco devices only; netconf works with all vendors
-
C
netconf is older and deprecated; network_cli is the modern replacement
-
D
They are identical but network_cli is faster due to persistent connections
